"TRUMBO" (2015) Review
Posted on October 28, 2016 by ladylavinia1932
I tried to think of a number of movies about the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) and the Hollywood Blacklist I have seen. And to be honest, I can only think of two of which I have never finished and two of which I did. One of those movies I did finish was the 2015 biopic about Hollywood screenwriter, Dalton Trumbo.
Based upon Bruce Alexander Cook's 1977 biography, the movie covered fourteen years of the screenwriter's life – from being subpoenaed to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1947 to 1960, when he was able to openly write movies and receive screen credit after nine to ten years of being blacklisted by the Motion Picture Alliance for the Protection of American Ideals. Due to this time period, it was up to production designer Mark Rickler to visually convey fourteen years in Southern California – from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. I must say that he, along with cinematographer Jim Denault and art directors Lisa Marinaccio and Jesse Rosenthal did an excellent job by taking advantage of the New Orleans locations. That is correct. Certain areas around New Orleans, Louisiana stood for mid-century Los Angeles, California. But the movie also utilized a few locations in Southern California; including a residential house in northeastern Los Angeles, and the famous Roosevelt Hotel in the heart of Hollywood. And thanks to Denault's cinematography, Rickler's production designs not only made director Jay Roach's "Southern California" look colorful, but nearly realistic. But one of my minor joys of "TRUMBO" came from the costume designs. Not only do I admire how designer Daniel Orlandi re-created mid-20th century fashion for the film industry figures in Southern California, as shown in the images below:
I was especially impressed by Orlandi's re-creation of . . . you guessed it! Columnist Hedda Hopper's famous hats, as shown in the following images:
I have read two reviews for "TRUMBO". Both reviewers seemed to like the movie, yet both were not completely impressed by it. I probably liked it a lot more than the two. "TRUMBO" proved to be the second movie I actually paid attention to about the Blacklist. I think it has to do with the movie's presentation. "TRUMBO" seemed to be divided into three acts. The first act introduced the characters and Trumbo's problems with the House Committee on Un-American Activities, leading to his being imprisoned for eleven months on charges of contempt of Congress, for his refusal to answer questions from HUAC. The second act focused on those years in which Trumbo struggled to remain employed as a writer for the low-budget King Brothers Productions, despite being blacklisted by the major studios. And the last act focused upon Trumbo's emergence from the long shadow of the blacklist, thanks to his work on "SPARTACUS" and "EXODUS".
I have only one real complaint about "TRUMBO". Someone once complained that the movie came off as uneven. And I must admit that the reviewer might have a point. I noticed that the film's first act seemed to have a light tone – despite Trumbo's clashes with Hollywood conservatives and HUAC. Even those eleven months he had spent in prison seemed to have an unusual light tone, despite the situation. But once the movie shifted toward Trumbo's struggles trying to stay employed, despite the blacklist, the movie's tone became somewhat bleaker. This was especially apparent in those scenes that featured the screenwriter's clashes with his family over his self-absorbed and strident behavior towards them and his dealings with fellow (and fictional) screenwriter Arlen Hird. But once actor Kirk Douglas and director Otto Preminger expressed interest in ignoring the Blacklist and hiring Trumbo for their respective movies, the movie shifted toward a lighter, almost sugarcoated tone again. Now, there is nothing wrong with a movie shifting from one tone to another in accordance to the script. My problem with these shifts is that they struck me as rather extreme and jarring. There were moments when I found myself wondering if I was watching a movie directed by two different men.
Another problem I had with "TRUMBO" centered around one particular scene that featured Hedda Hopper and MGM studio boss Louis B. Mayer. In this scene, Hopper forces Mayer to fire any of his employees who are suspected Communists, including Trumbo. The columnist did this by bringing up Mayer's Jewish ancestry and status as an immigrant from Eastern Europe. This scene struck me as a blatant copy of one featured in the 1999 HBO movie, "RKO 281". In that movie, Hopper's rival, Louella Parsons (portrayed by Brenda Blethyn) utilized the same method to coerce – you guess it – Mayer (portrayed by David Suchet) to convince other studio bosses to withhold their support of the 1941 movie, "CITIZEN KANE". Perhaps the filmmakers for "TRUMBO" felt that no one would remember the HBO film. I did. Watching that scene made me wonder if I had just witnessed a case of plagiarism. And I felt rather disappointed.
Despite these jarring shifts in tone, I still ended up enjoying "TRUMBO" very much. Instead of making an attempt to cover Dalton Trumbo's life from childhood to death, the movie focused upon a very important part in the screenwriter's life – the period in which his career in Hollywood suffered a major decline, due to his political beliefs. And thanks to Jay Roach's direction and John McNamara's screenplay, the movie did so with a straightforward narrative. Some of the film's critics had complained about its sympathetic portrayal of Trumbo, complaining that the movie had failed to touch upon Trumbo's admiration of the Soviet Union. Personally, what would be the point of that? A lot of American Communists did the same, rather naively and stupidly in my opinion. But considering that this movie mainly focused upon Trumbo's experiences as a blacklisted writer, what would have been the point? Trumbo was not professionally and politically condemned for regarding the Soviet Union as the epitome of Communism at work. He was blacklisted for failing to cooperate with the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
Also, the movie did not completely whitewash Trumbo. McNamara's screenplay did not hesitate to condemn how Trumbo's obsession with continuing his profession as a screenwriter had a negative impact upon his relationship with his family – especially his children. It also had a negative impact with his relationship with fellow screenwriter (the fictional) Arlen Hird, who wanted Trumbo to use his work for the King Brothers to express their liberal politics. Trumbo seemed more interested in staying employed and eventually ending the Blacklist. I came away with the feeling that the movie was criticizing the screenwriter for being more interested in regaining his successful Hollywood career than in maintaining his politics.
"TRUMBO" also scared me. The movie scared me in a way that the 2010 movie, "THE CONSPIRATOR" did. It reminded me that I may disagree with the political or social beliefs of another individual; society's power over individuals – whether that society came in the form of a government (national, state or local) or any kind of corporation or business industry – can be a frightening thing to behold. It can be not only frightening, but also corruptive. Watching the U.S. government ignore the constitutional rights of this country's citizens (including Trumbo) via the House Committee on Un-American Activities scared the hell out of me. Watching HUAC coerce and frighten actor Edward G. Robinson into exposing people that he knew as Communists scared me. What frightened me the most is that it can happen again. Especially when I consider how increasingly rigid the world's political climate has become.
I cannot talk about "TRUMBO" without focusing on the performances. Bryan Cranston earned a slew of acting nominations for his portrayal of Dalton Trumbo. I have heard that the screenwriter was known for being a very colorful personality. What is great about Cranston's performance is that he captured this trait of Trumbo's without resorting to hammy acting. Actually, I could say the same about the rest of the cast. Helen Mirren portrayed the movie's villain, Hollywood columnist Hedda Hopper with a charm and charisma that I personally found both subtle and very scary. Diane Lane gave a subtle and very convincing performance as Trumbo's wife Cleo, who not only stood by her husband throughout his travails, but also proved to be strong-willed when his self-absorption threatened to upset the family dynamics. Louis C.K., the comic actor gave a poignant and emotional performance as the fictional and tragic screenwriter, Arden Hird.
Other memorable performances caught my attention as well. Elle Fanning did an excellent job portraying Trumbo's politically passionate daughter, who grew to occasionally resent her father's pre-occupation with maintaining his career. Michael Stuhlbarg did a superb job in conveying the political and emotional trap that legendary actor Edward G. Robinson found himself, thanks to HUAC. Both John Goodman and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje gave colorful and entertaining performances as studio head Frank King and Trumbo's fellow convict Virgil Brooks, respectively. Stephen Root was equally effective as the cautious and occasionally paranoid studio boss, Hymie King. Roger Bart gave an excellent performance as fictional Hollywood producer Buddy Ross, a venal personality who seemed to lack Robinson's sense of guilt for turning his back on the blacklisted Trumbo and other writers. David James Elliot gave a very interesting performance as Hollywood icon John Wayne, conveying the actor's fervent anti-Communist beliefs and willingness to protect Robinson from Hedda Hopper's continuing hostility toward the latter. And in their different ways, both Dean O'Gorman and Christian Berkel gave very entertaining performances as the two men interested in employing Trumbo by the end of the 1950s – Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.
I noticed that "TRUMBO" managed to garner only acting nominations for the 2015-2016 award season. Considering that the Academy Award tends to nominate at least 10 movies for Best Picture, I found it odd that the organization was willing to nominate the likes of "THE MARTIAN" (an unoriginal, yet entertaining feel-good movie) and "MAD MAX: FURY ROAD" (for which I honestly do not have a high regard) in that category. "TRUMBO" was not perfect. But I do not see why it was ignored for the Best Picture category, if movies like "THE MARTIAN" can be nominated. I think director Jay Roach, screenwriter John McNamara and a cast led by the always talented Bryan Cranston did an excellent job in conveying a poisonous period in both the histories of Hollywood and this country.

"WESTWARD HO!": Part Two – "THE WAY WEST"
Below is Part Two to my article about Hollywood's depiction about the westward migration via wagon trains in 19th century United States. It focuses upon the 1967 movie, "":
"WESTWARD HO!": Part Two – "THE WAY WEST" (1967)
Based upon A.B. Guthrie Jr.'s 1949 novel, "THE WAY WEST" told the story of a large wagon train's journey to Oregon in 1843. The wagon train is led by a widowed former U.S. Senator named William Tadlock (Kirk Douglas). A former mountain man named Dick Summers (Robert Mitchum) is hired as the wagon party's guide and among the last to join the train is farmer Lije Evans (Richard Widmark), his wife Rebecca (Lola Albright)and their 16 year-old son Brownie (Michael McGreevey); who were living near Independence when the wagon train was being formed.
During the journey to Oregon, the movie introduced audiences with the other members of the wagon train. They included a family from Georgia named the McBees (Harry Carey Jr., Connie Sawyer and Sally Field), and the recently married Johnnie and Amanda Mack (Mike Witney and Katherine Justice). Personal friendships and animosities flourished during the 2,000 miles journey. Summers managed to befriend both Lije and Brownie Evans. The latter fell in love with the McBees' extroverted daughter Mercy, who developed a crush on Johnnie Mack. The latter had difficulty consummating his marriage with a sexually unresponsive wife. Frustrated, Mack turned to Mercy for a brief tryst. Senator Tadlock proved to be an intimidating, yet manipulative leader. Only two people dared to question his decisions – Summers and Lije. Especially the latter. Although willing to question Tadlock's leadership, Lije was reluctant to replace him as the wagon party's new leader.
"THE WAY WEST" received a good deal of negative criticisms. It has also been compared to "HOW THE WEST WAS WON" to its detriment. I plan to write a review of "THE WAY WEST" in the future. But right now, I am more interested in how the movie fared in regard to historical accuracy.
The Tadlock wagon party headed for Oregon Territory in 1843, the year known as "The Great Migration of 1843" or the "Wagon Train of 1843", in which an estimated 700 to 1,000 emigrants left for Oregon. The number of emigrants in Tadlock's party and the year in which the movie is set, seemed historically accurate."THE WAY WEST" also featured a few well-known landmarks along the Oregon Trail. Such landmarks included Chimney Rock, Scott's Bluff, Independence Rock and Fort Hall. Fort Laramie did not play a role in the movie's plot.
So far, "THE WAY WEST" seemed to be adhering to historical accuracy. Unfortunately, this did not last. One, the wagons featured in the movie came in all shapes and sizes. They ranged from farm wagons to large Conestoga wagons. I cannot even describe the wagon used by the McFee family. It was not as heavy as a Conestoga, but it was long enough to convey Mr. McFee's peach tree saplings across the continent. The draft animals used by the emigrants turned out to be a mêlée of oxen, mules and horses. The movie did point out the necessity of abandoning unnecessary possessions to lighten the wagons' loads. Only, it was pointed out when the wagon party attempted to ascend a very steep slope what looked like the in Idaho.
"THE WAY WEST" did not feature a large-scale attack by a horde of Native Americans. But the movie came damn near close to including one. The wagon party first encountered a group of Cheyenne warriors not far from Independence Rock. When one of the emigrants, Johnnie Mack, mistook a chief's young son hidden underneath a wolf's skin as a real wolf and shot him, the wagon train made tracks in order to avoid retribution. The Cheyenne caught up with the wagon party and demanded the head of the boy's killer. The other emigrants declared they were willing to fight it out with the Cheyenne, until they discovered they would be facing a large horde of warriors. In the end, Mr. Mack confessed to the crime and allowed himself to be hanged, in order to spare Brownie Evans from being handed over to the Cheyenne by Tadlock.
Dramatically, I found this sequence to be effective. I admired how director Andrew V. McLaglen developed the tension between the emigrants, Senator Tadlock and the Cheyenne demanding justice. Historically, I found it a mess. The number of Cheyenne warriors that had gathered for the sake of one boy struck me as very improbable. The only times I could recall that many Native Americans gathering at one spot was the council for the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie and the Battle of Little Bighorn. And considering that the Cheyenne nation were spread out from the Black Hills in present-day South Dakota to southern Colorado, I found this encounter between the Tadlock wagon party and the Cheyenne historically improbable.
"THE WAY WEST" fared somewhat better than "HOW THE WEST WAS WON" in regard to historical accuracy. But I found it lacking in some aspects of the plot. Like the 1962 movie, "THE WAY WEST" proved to be more entertaining than historically accurate.

Pedro Alvarez hit his 23rd homer of the season in the top of the 19th inning, as the Pittsburgh Pirates (67-54) won the longest game in the majors this season, 6-3, over the St. Louis Cardinals (65-56). Pirates' outfielder Andrew McCutchen added a two-run single later in the 19th inning to account for the final margin of victory. The win allowed the Pirates to remain two games ahead of the Cardinals in the race for the second NL Wild Card spot.
The Tampa Bay Rays (67-54) completed a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels (62-60) with an 8-3 win on Sunday in Anaheim. The victory gave Tampa a firmer grasp of the first American League Wild Card spot. The Rays still trail the Yankees by five games in the American League East. Tampa Bay outscored the Angels 37-14 in the series.
After suffering their 82nd loss of 2012 on Saturday, the Houston Astros (39-83) fired manager Brad Mills. The Astros also canned hitting coach Mike Barnett and first base coach Bobby Meachem. The team named Triple-A manager Tony DeFrancesco as the interim skipper, but Houston still lost to Arizona, 8-1, on Sunday.
Two-time US Olympic softball gold medalist Michele Smith made history during the TBS broadcast of the Los Angeles Dodgers-Atlanta Braves game at Turner Field on Sunday. As Smith offered commentary alongside play-by-play man Ernie Johnson and analyst John Smoltz, she became the first female analyst for a nationally televised Major League Baseball game. Other MLB teams have used female analysts for regional broadcasts, but Smith is the first female broadcaster to address a national audience.
When Seattle Mariners' ace Felix Hernandez threw a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays' last Wednesday, the 1-0 gem was the second perfect game thrown at Seattle's Safeco Field in 2012. Bode Dockal, the 9-month-old son of Paul and Jennifer Dockal, has seen them both. In addition to being there on Wednesday, the Dockals were in attendance on April 21, when Chicago's Philip Humber blanked the Mariners, 4-0. When Bode gets older, his parents will be able to tell him just how rare an occurrence he has already seen twice, even if he doesn't remember the games.
On Wednesday, Major League Baseball suspended San Francisco Giants' outfielder Melky Cabrera for 50 games for testing positive for a banned substance. Cabrera was hitting .346 and won the MVP of last month's All-Star Game. Sunday, MLB accused Cabrera and his associates of creating a fake website to help appeal the ban and contest the charges.
While the Houston Astros have had a terrible season, their outfielders have been consistently great at making spectacular catches. In the video below, center fielder Brandon Barnes makes a great diving catch to rob Arizona's Ryan Wheeler of a hit.
The National League West lead is at stake when the San Francisco Giants (66-55) take on the Los Angeles Dodgers (67-55) in a three-game series starting on Monday in L.A. The Dodgers lead the Giants by a half-game, but the teams are equal in the loss column. San Francisco will send Madison Bumgarner, Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain to the mound against the Los Angeles trio of Clayton Kershaw, Joe Blanton and Chris Capuano. Los Angeles will have manager Don Mattingly back after he spent the weekend serving a two-game suspension for arguing with umpires in Pittsburgh last week.
Tampa Bay's Ben Zobrist had 12 hits in his past 26 at-bats through Saturday. That the veteran Zobrist has raised his batting average to .262 after a slow start is not surprising. What is different is how well Zobrist has hit since moving to shortstop. Blending his power numbers with the newfound position eligibility should make Zobrist a hot commodity in most fantasy leagues this year and next.
Even though he went 2-for-3 on Sunday, Jemile Weeks is struggling at the plate for the A's. The fleet second-baseman has just one extra-base hit in his last 10 games. His seasonal average sits at .222. Time to cut him loose.


January is always associated with new beginnings simply by being the first month in our current calendar. So we go with the flow.
Most gardeners the world over are stuck inside looking at seed catalogs – which conventionally arrive about now – because the ground is frozen solid or at least cold enough to kill almost every seedling for a few more months! Having been raised in the mid-West, I have sat by the fire with a stack of seed catalogs next to me and proceeded to create orders of hundreds of seeds which, of course, Grandpa never ordered (he saved most of his own seeds and ordered parsimoniously – he lived on Social Security and whatever he could sell from his three acre garden. His bottom line and my expensive orders didn't mix. However, the seed companies trained me well for as soon as I was in charge of my own finances, I have ordered too many seeds annually with regular precision!
(On a side note: I need carrots for an upcoming workshop and after trying four times to get my carrot seed to sprout, I looked at the package and it was completely out of date. Take it from me, having learned it yet again, carrot seed isn't worth its weight in dust after 18 months. So I took to my catalogs. I ended up ordering Nantes Carrots from Pinetree Garden Seeds, of whom I've written before. Let me tell you, I have NEVER gotten a seed order this fast in my life! I'm thinking they've hired a clairvoyant and knew the order was coming two days before I ordered it. If I ever need something fast every again, you can guess who I'll be dealing with! Kudos to Pinetree Garden Seed!) And as I've noted before, their packages are the best sized for us without forty feet rows. The selection is great as well.
usable, and one of my reasons for choosing this variety.
But in Southern California, we just keep on trucking, all year round! Not only do we have some of the finest soils in the world, we have weather that allows us to grow much more variety than most of the rest of the planet! I am complaining about my carrots (above), but in what percent of the United States does one get to make that complaint in January? It's amazing what we can do here.
In January, as a part of a year long quest for knowledge, I want us all to consider on how we can limit fertilizers in our gardens. Most of the fertilizers we put down on the ground are wasted. Sometimes that's because the way we applied them was faulty or improper; sometimes it's because the soil already has enough of that fertilizer and cannot use anymore; sometimes it's because we diagnose our plants' problems improperly.
In Southern California, especially in Los Angeles county, the part of California I am most used to, I would easily bet that your soil has enough of all nutrients to grow plants except Nitrogen. This is true for a lot of California soils. You will have to supply Nitrogen to your plants. I don't use fertilizers at all. But I have to be certain my plants have Nitrogen to grow. How do I get those two ends to meet?
Before explaining that, note this: science considers Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium to be the three "Macro-elements" that are in the most demand by the plant for growth. We know we are missing N (the symbol for Nitrogen) without even looking for it because most California Flora are adapted to live in soils without N – if the plants needed N, the soils they would be the dominant species would have lots of N. Our soils don't. The lesson is clear and you don't have to be a clairvoyant to figure that out – just do a thorough inventory of what is there! But our veggies are not from California and they have evolved not only use Nitrogen, but lots of it . Most of the other minerals science says we need to grow good plants are found in good supply in our soils. Now, I know that's a huge generalization, and it doesn't substitute for a soil test, but that would be my assumption until proven wrong.
In my garden, we do not use Nitrogen fertilizer. Yet our plants are supplied with enough N to perform. We made this happen by planting plants that are said to "fix" atmospheric Nitrogen in a way that makes that N available to plant roots. These are crops from the different bean and pea families and we grow a lot of them. If I were growing my own garden, I would love to have pathways of clover, which also fix Nitrogen. This N, done the way nature does things, is in good supply in our soils. Nitrogen from commercial endeavors is frequently gassed off into the atmosphere serving our plants very little and putting more carbon in the air. However, if we use peas and beans we are sequestering that in the soil – which, by the way, is where it should be!
While this true for Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium are not a part of the atmosphere and so do not present that kind of problem. However, they are usually found in our soils with abundance.
Don't add more to what is there already. Again, these are broad generalizations, it comes from Southern California and it is based on my experience. A soil test is the only way to tell absolutely what is in your soil. At one point, my garden was tested (a long time ago) and so I know I'm right, but this is my overall recommendation until you do get a soil test.
Ideally, for our Nitrogen fix, we would grow beans and when done, cut them off at the soil surface, leaving the roots in the soil to decompose, but, while that does give one more Nitrogen, I don't often do it, because I'm ready plant something else there already and I can't wait. You will still get N in the soil, not just as much. Don't make yourself nuts trying sequester ALL the N in the soil, it's not worth it. Get some in and keep getting some in.
One big ol' Exception to the rule of Nitrogen: Tomatoes do not produce well with lots of Nitrogen in the soil! Do not follow beans or peas or any other N fixing plant with Tomatoes. For some reason they plants will grow and grow until the Nitrogen is used up. Then they will finally set flowers and begin to make tomatoes, but not until then!

Q: Trying to convert PCM to frequency chart but result looks very strange near 0 I tried convert PCM data from wav file and FFT to frequency chart.
Here is my chart.

0.00s 512 sample count

3.15s 512 sample count
The sound file almost quietly and have some knock sound start at 3s.
I noticed near 0 the value very high. But how it can be!
Another strange point is "the value is 0 when frequency greater than about 16000".
Here is my code:
import soundfile as sf
import numpy as np
import math
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

_audio_path = 'source_normal.wav'

def plot_data(pcm_data, samplerate, current_time):
    x_axis = np.arange(0, len(pcm_data) - 1) / len(pcm_data) * samplerate
    complex_data = [x+0j for x in pcm_data]
    result = np.fft.fft(complex_data)
    length = len(pcm_data) // 2
    amplitudes = [math.sqrt(x.imag * x.imag + x.real * x.real) for x in result[:length]]
    plt.plot(x_axis[:length], amplitudes)
    plt.title('{}s sample count: {}'.format(current_time, len(pcm_data)))
    plt.xlabel('{}Hz'.format(samplerate))
    plt.show()

def baz():
    data, samplerate = sf.read(_audio_path, dtype='int16')
    window = 512
    total_number_of_data = len(data)
    current_index = 0 # 144000
    while current_index < total_number_of_data:
        d = data[current_index:current_index+window]
        current_time = current_index / samplerate
        print('current time: {}'.format(current_index / samplerate))
        plot_data(d, samplerate, current_time)
        current_index += window

if __name__ == '__main__':
    baz()

I not familiar with DSP and never tried before. So I think my code have some mistake, please help, thank you.
here is my sound file sound file

A: This high value you see on the first plot is caused by the constant component in the window. Try normalization: shift all window's values by its average.
Tail zeros are just amplitudes small enough to look like zeros. Check out their values to ensure ;)

When you arrive at our clinic you will be greeted by Laura, who will collect your new patient paperwork and take a copy of your insurance card! We respect your time, so if you do not have the forms filled out prior to arriving, we will need to reschedule your appointment. Your health is very important to us, and we don't want to miss a thing.
In your new patient appointment, our goal is to analyze the health of your spine, using various tools and techniques. Whether you have severe symptoms or no symptoms, our first step is to determine the presence or absence of subluxations in your spine, which are misaligned vertebrae that cause pressure, tension, irritation, and damage to the central nerve system.
The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, and gives rise to the spinal nerves. Your brain and spinal cord control all function and healing in the human body. Subluxations in the spine cause the organs, muscles, and soft tissues of the body to malfunction. An interference in the nerve system can also reduce the body's ability to heal itself.
We view symptoms as a warning sign your body gives you to show you something has been malfunctioning for some time and needs attention. In many cases, subluxations are present without symptoms. Quite often, subluxations have existed for many years before the symptom arrives.
If we detect that you have subluxation in your exam, we can help you.

Leicester Crown Court
Girl racer jailed after boyfriend's death in crash
A GIRL racer who killed her boyfriend in an horrific head-on smash just minutes after driving at 150mph was jailed for five and a half years.
Samantha Watson, 25, of Lake View Terrace, Tamworth, hurtled along at more than twice the national speed limit at the wheel of her Barrow-upon-Soar boyfriend's powerful Mitsubishi Evolution.
But shortly after bragging about her high-speed antics to friends she veered onto the wrong side of the road and ploughed into an oncoming car on the winding B591 Copt Oak Road, near Markfield.
Father-of-three Dean Bulmer, 32, was a front-seat passenger when he was killed.
Watson wept in the dock at Leicester Crown Court as Judge Philip Head told her: "He had a powerful car indeed - one that was wholly outside your driving experience. But it is clear to me you were a committed car enthusiast and were aware of its power and potential.
"At one point in your journey you drove at speeds of around 150mph - no doubt seduced by the potential of that car and you then bragged about it."
Watson claimed she was distracted by quarry worker Mr Bulmer leaning across her to dim the headlights and urging her to "floor it."
But 16-year-old Daniel Jordan, a rear-seat passenger, insisted Mr Bulmer was actually pleading with her to slow down. The teenager said he saw the speedometer register 150mph on the M1 and claimed the journey along Copt Oak felt like 120mph.
Two further witnesses, including Det Sgt Simon Cure, of Leicestershire Police, who was driving in the car that the Mitsubishi collided with, said: "It was abnormally quick around the bend going from side to side. It was completely out of control."
Jamie De Burgos, defending, said Watson had suffered depression since the accident and had attempted to commit suicide.
"No sentence can repair the loss of Dean Bulmer and she will always walk with a limp to remind her of what happened," he said.

Bob Marcucci (eigentlich Robert Phillip Marcucci, * 28. Februar 1930 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; † 9. März 2011 in Ontario, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Musikproduzent und Promoter.

In den 1950er und 1960er Jahren entdeckte er zahlreiche Popstars, unter anderem Frankie Avalon und Fabian, die er für sein Plattenlabel Chancellor Records unter Vertrag nahm. Durch massive Fernseh- und Öffentlichkeitspräsenz schaffte er es, seine mehr oder minder begabten Schützlinge mit mehr oder minder gelungenen Songs zu Superstars aufzubauen.

Er produzierte auch zahlreiche Platten, sein größter Erfolg als Produzent war Frankie Avalons Hit Venus.
1961 schrieb er den Soundtrack zum Film Sail a Crooked Ship, 1963 für Operation Bikini, in denen jeweils auch sein Schützling Avalon mitspielte.

1980 wurde dann The Idolmaker gedreht, ein Film der auf Marcuccis Leben basiert und für einen Golden Globe nominiert wurde.

Thank you for offering these courses!! They are the best!
I just want to say that after I finished the Putting It All Together course, something really resonated with my trading. It is as if all my past courses made total sense and my trades have changed drastically. I am doing very well in this market, making more and not doing the silly mistakes I have made in the past. At some point maybe I can talk with you to explain. Really happy with all my training, I am a very different trader now.
Thanks a bunch, express my thanks to Martha and the team. Also thank you for your help, you are a darling. Thank you!!
